This table explains multi-window features of devices. It's recommended to prepare P OS samsung devices. That's because you can test multi-window mode with multi-resume. One more thing is that your samsung device cannot support freeform window if it has low memory specification. If there is no menu item of 'Open in pop-up view' in recents, it's possible for your device not to support freeform window.
